Curry Rubbed Pork Tenderloin With Strawberry Rhubarb Compote
- Pork Tenderloin
- 2 pork tenderloins, about 1 1/4 lb each
- 4 heaping tbsp Madras brand curry powder
- 6 cloves of garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Rhubarb Compote
- 1 1/2 cups rhubarb, roughly chopped
- 1 small sweet onion, finely diced
- 1 handful kumquats, chopped (if you can't find kumquats, don't sweat it, just add some orange zest)
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
- red pepper flakes to taste
- Crush your garlic and blend together with the curry powder and olive oil. (a mortar and pestle is the best way to do this)
- Rub the pork all over with the paste, and allow to marinate at least an hour, and up to overnight.
- When ready to begin, let the pork sit out at room temp for about 20 minutes. Preheat your broiler on medium.
- Line a baking sheet with foil, and place a wire rack over it. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from your top heating element.
- Broil the pork for about 3 minutes per side, or until you get some nice color with a little bit of blackened spots. Then slide the pork onto a middle rack and turn the oven down to 450F. Roast for 8-10 more minutes, or until the pork is just pink at the center.
- Allow to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
- * If you a a fan of grilling outside, simply grill the pork as you normally would.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the onion. Saute the onion until softened, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add the rhubarb, kumquats, vinegar, sugar, and a little splash of water to keep everything from sticking. Cook on medium heat until the rhubarb is breaking down, about 6-7 minutes.
- Serve with the pork warm, chilled, or at room temperature.
- This really works with my sticky coconut-lime rice.
